Usually when you hear “athlete” and “record” together, your mind takes you to something of the criminal persuasion. But no, today, I’d like to talk athletes and musical records. See, I bet ya’ll thought cats like Deion Sanders, Allen Iverson, Shaq-Fu or the 85 Chicago Bears team invented the “cross-over”.

Sadly this song and video also proves (among other things) that anything is possible (even when you wished it wasn’t). This “telling” video says a lot about running great, Carl Lewis… what it doesn’t say -which is probably the question you will most want an answer to- is “WHY?”
